Issue networking XP and Win2k machines

[Guest lca1630]

Hello,

 

I am having an issue accessing a share that I created on an XP machine from

and a Win2k machine. I have a peer to peer network setup, wide open shares,

and am able to access a dummy share I set up on my win2k machine from my XP

machine. When I try to access the share on my XP machine from my windows 2000

machine I recieve the credentials pop-up. I enter the info for the account

that's logged in on the XP machine. Any info I enter returns a denied: user

access restriction error. The share is wide open and I'm an admin on both

machines. I have read something about creating identical accounts on both

machines but not quite sure. I don't know if its a firewall issue. Any

ideas?? I would be greatful. Thanks

Hello lca1630,

 

If you have a firewall running, stop it for testing. Also create the same

account with the same password on both machines. Also add both machines in

the same workgroup.

 

Best regards

Thanks for the quick response, They are both in the same workgroup, but I

will try the other two. Thanks again
